During my travels since my last trip to the LoS I have noticed the sudden appearance of rip-off ATMs at airports.

Essentially what is happening is that the regular bank ATMs are getting removed from the arrival facilities at airports to be replaced by 'specialist' ones that offer a really lousy exchange rate - one I found in Portugal charged more than £1 for a euro.

- Has this scam reached BKK yet?

I may be drunk, Miss, but in the morning I shall be sober and you will still be ugly...
